HE FELL ASLEEP.

Lorin Chappell, B Brakeman, Has a
 Miraculous Escape From Instant
 Death-He Falls Asleep on the Rails
 in Front of an Approaching Train.
 Lorin Chappell, brakeman on the Air Line branch of the Consolidated road, had an almost miraculous escape from instant death at Northford shortly before Il o'clock last night.
 Chappell left this city on the Boston freight, his regular train at 1920 last night. This train passes the fish train at North ford, going on a siding to let her go by. After Chappell had switched his train into the siding he secured the switch and placing his lantern on the ground he sat unkno wing ly on one of the rails over which the coming train was soon to pass. He had had but little sleep during the day and was soon in the arms of Morpheus. The fish train came laundering down upon him in a few moments. The noise failed to awaken him. The engineer of the, approaching train saw the man and closed his eyes as he reversed his engine. The iron horse struck the sleep ing man and hurled him thirty feet into the ditch where he struck on his head. He lay unconscious when found and was supposed to be stone dead. The train men who had gathered around were surprised when he came to and asked if his train had left yet. The injured man was placed on the milk train and brought to this city where he arrived at 11:45. The police ambulance was in waiting and he was taken to the hospital. It was there learned that Chappell was not fatally injured. He was badly bruised and had his scalp and flesh torn besides bad gash on top of his head, but the hospital physicians think he will come out of it all right. He belongs in Chicopee, Mass, and is an unmarried man.

The house is most pleasant resort.

THE IMPORTS OF IRON ORE
show a Startling Increase the Past
 Vaar

Year.
 PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10.-The Bulletin ot the American Iron and Steel association in commenting on the statement of the imports
 and exports of the United States for the year
 ended June 30 says: The figures relating to
 our imports of iron and steel have never
 been exceeded in magnitude except in the
 fiscal year in 1880. The total imports in
 1887 wee nearly 100000 tons greater than in
 1885 and 1886 united. In 1887 we imported
 l,5A,6O4 gross tons against ,445, 941 in 1885
 and 1856. Our imports of iron ore in 1887
 were also larger than in both 1885 and 1886,
 amounting in 1887 to 1,141, TIA gross tons
 against 1, ,127, 113 tons in 1885 and 1886.
 The foreign value of the above imports in
 the fiscal year 1887 amounted to 42,251 1885,
 but to this foreign cost must be added the cost of freight and insurance, the duties and
 brokers profits, making 8 probable addition of fifty per cent. to the above figures, mak- ing total of $63, 100000 as the actual cost to our people of one years imports of iron and steel. It must be noted, too, that the figures we give do not include imports of machinery, for arms and other manufactures of iron and steel, the value of which if given would very considerably increase our last years contribution to the iron and steel man. ufacturers of Great Britain and the continent The extraordinary increase in our imports of iron and steel in the last fiscal year was noticeable in the first half of the year from July to December, 1886, but it has been most marked in the last six months from January to July, 1887. The total imports of iron and steel in the first six months of 1887 amounted to 960,S tons, which was very much more than the imports in the last six months of 1886. We regret to say that we do not see any signs of a smaller importation of iron and steel in the last six months of the present year than took place in the first six months. The total imports of iron ore in the first six months of 1887 amounted to 600,S26 gross tons.

SHOCKING BEYOND ALL BELIEF. Horrible DisresPect te the Dead in the
 unnrf of fhn Madam Afhana

Heart of the Modern Athens.
 BOSTON, Aug. 10.-The Evening Record publishes an article charging that horrible dissertation of the graves of the dead in the heart of the city of Boston has been going on for nearly week. The place where it claims that this is being done is on Boylston street opposite the public library. Some thing like week ago the Edison Electric Light company began to dig trench along Boylston street for the purpose of laying their wires. As the workmen ascended the hill they encountered the tops of the graves and vaults which extend from the burial ground on the Common under the Mall and into Boylston street. These graves were made of brick and as they came quite near to the surface they interfered with the work, but did not hinder it's progress. The roofs of the graves were broken in and their con- tents thrown out on the side of the street with earth, brick and stones. Scattered all along the side of the trench, says the Record, may be seen leg, thigh and arm bones, ribs, portions of skulls and other parts of human skeletons. Some of these bones have been hung up on the fence of the Common, where they are the subject of scurrilous jests and are pointed out by the conductors of horse cars to the passers-by. AS near as can be learned at the present time four or five skulls, all in a good state of preservation, have been thrown out. A workman named Dolan sold one of the skulls to man for fifty cents this morning, who said he was was carried off in triumph by horse car conductor. The others have disappeared, but one of the worknen promised to sell the next one found to the Record reporter.

TRULH STRANGE DUEL.

Two Mexlcans Enter a Dark Room
 Filled With Tarantulas and Neither
 Comes Out Alive.
 TOLEDO, Aug. 10.-Particulars of strange duel have just leaked out here through the arrival from Mexico of O. W. Maritime, wealthy coffee merchant. He says the par ticipants in the duel were Senor Victoria, mining speculator, and Senor Padr aga, an extensive ship owner. While at ball few weeks ago given at Tampioo by one Of the chief ladies of Spanish society the gentlemen quarreled in the presence of the lady whom they both admired and Victoria challenged Padraza. As Padraza had the choice of weapons he demanded that Victoria meet him in dark room where should be placed one hundred tarantulas of the most poisonous kind and that each should devote his energies to killing the tarautulas instead of fighting his opponet, and neither must leave the room until all the poisonous spiders
 were killed. The duel was fought in room as dark as dungeon. There were no sec- onds and no one at Tampicq suspected the truth. When the doors were broken open both men were found dead, surrounded by 1 the horrible spiders, some dead and some ! alive. An investigation was promised, but ! friends interfered and nothing was done 1 about the duel.

Much Damage Done to Property 1n the
 West.
 MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 10.-Specials to the Evening Wisconsin from the interior of the State indicate that the wind storm which accompanied the rain last night was very violent and that much damage has resulted in consequence. In the vicinity of Waupaun haystacks and barns were leveled. On all sides number of new buildings on the farm of John Burnham were completely demolished. Frank Johnson, a farmer, liv- Ing two miles south of Waupun, was buried in the debris of his barn and killed. At Portage large number of buildings on the fair grounds were demolished and the corn crop in that section almost ruined. A number of bridges in Fon du Lac county were swept away. At Horizon 8 number of buildings were unroofed. A regu- lar panic ensued on Horicon marsh, which was filed with haymakers when the storm struck, and tents, wagons and hay stacks were sent flying in every di rection. One report says that six men were killed, but this is undoubtedly a mistake. Ignatius Jantz, farmer, was killed by light ming near Ripon.

BASE BALL SCRAPS.
Probability That the Waterbury and
 DanburY Teams Will Not Last.

I Probability That the Waterbury and l Danbury Teams Will Not Last. l It is amusing to see how the Waterburys | and Danburys are trying to hold out for that forfeit money which they expect to get from l the teams which dropped out of the Eastern l league, and which they will not get Weir has signed with Scranton, Staltz with Wilkesbarre, as has also Campion. O'Con- nell and ex-Umpire Begley are the only pitchers Waterbury has now. Battin is with the Stars of Syracuse, and Pettit with the Wilkesbarres. What team the Waterburys must have. But then they intend to get that forfeit money, if they have to release all the professionals and use Waterbury amateurs. In fact, the Waterbury team cannot now be called professional team. Neither the Dan burys nor the Waterburys have any schedule after yesterday. The two teams will prob ably not last till the first of September.
 Staltz pitched for the Wilkesbarres on Mon day, and the BuHalos batted him all over the field and won easily. Staltz was never much of pitcher anyway, although by streaks he did good work in the Eastern league.
 The Scrantons have released Cox, late of the Bridgeports. He played second base miserably.
 Boyle, of the St. Louis, has caught in thir- ty-four successive games. He was unearthed by Manager Caylor of the Metropolitans when the latter was manager of the Cincinnatis. When Caylor left the Cincinnatis his advice was not to release Boyle, as he was too good player. He was released, however, to St. Louis, and Von der Ahe made lucky hit when he secured him.
 Van Ha1tren, the California pitcher, has become reduced in flesh. He says the climate east of the Rockies does not agree with him.
 Herman of the New Yorks is the best bat ter of all the youngsters who were taken into the National league this season. He stands tenth in his average, surpassiDg such men as O'Rourke and Welch.
 Insubordination is rampant in the Pitts burg team.
 The Boston Herald, in speaking of the game between the Manehesters and Lynns on Monday, says: "It was demonstrated that Manchester has no use for Troy and Halpin, the new men," Troy accepted five out of seven chances and Halpin but six out of ten. This is not good playing, to be sure. But they are capable of better work.
 Joe Battin, the veteran, is astonishing Syracuse people by his playing. He was cap tain of the Waterburys the early part of the season.
 Daly of the Chicagos is but twenty-one years old. This is his first season in the Na- tional league, and he has already developed in- to one of the best catchers in the country.
 Manager Kelly of the New Ravens is in Boston. He may receive an appointment as umpire in the New England league.

If the Cabinet Insists on Its Amend-
 ments to the Land Bill.
 LONDON, Aug. 10.-A number of Tory peers threaten to reject the amendments to the land bill introduced in the House of Commons, especially the clause providing for @ revision of judicial rents. They have also warned the government not to attempt to deal with the question of arrears. The atti- tude of these lords has paralyzed the Cabi- nets action in further amending the land bill to satisfy the Parnellites. The Gladstonian whips have sent notice to members in the country to be ready to return if the peers mutilate the bill and the Parnellites have been ordered to remuster in full force. Lord Salisbury and all the ministerialists are ex- erting the utmost pressure to suppress the revolt of the peers. At an informal meeting at the Carlton club to-day the sentiment of those present was on the side of the peers, but the general opinion was that the govern ment by threatening to withdraw the bill could override all opposition.
